Postcapitalist Designers' Fight Club is a Postgraduate Interest Group where members can find community, network and support for postgraduate projects, research and other initiatives exploring design for a postcapitalist transition.
Design students are prompted to be critical in our practice and to address social, political and environmental challenges in our world.
But, who can afford to be critical after graduation? Can design really live outside the commodity machine? What are our preferable systems if we are dissatisfied with the present?
This interest group is a space of learning and solidarity for current and past MA and PhD students who are experimenting with using design for a postcapitalist transition.
Whether this is through thesis projects, design challenges, innovation jams, roundtable discussions, or other activities, this interest group offers a platform for collective action and peer support.
Anyone in this interest group can initiate a meetup, host an event, organise a panel discussion, collaborate with each other and more. Because of this, events and activities might not follow a regular schedule.
